Oh man that's as much as I'm willing to edit.
Here's the rest: http://www.grammy.com/GRAMMY_Awards/50th_Show/list.aspx

I'm totally rooting for Paramore to beat Amy Winehouse's ass, although I know it definitely has no chance of happening.

[technics]

I'm very happy to see the foo fighters up there.

[IVIike]

They all look good I have a feeling Rihanna will be walking away with a few

[Relentless]

Bleh. Amy Winehouse is on there. I don't like her nor her songs. She sounds so annoying. I don't understand why people like the song from her "Rehab". =/

I have a feeling Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna will have at least 2.

[hi-C]

Shop Boyz. Are you f**king serious?

[brooklyneast05]

Shop Boyz. Are you f**king serious?

[DoubleJ]

One of those 3

Here's the thing, whoever doesn't win the record of the year, will win this one.


Best New Artist

Really now...no explanation needed. And for all the paramore fans out there, they only have one single playing right now.



Best Female Pop Vocal Performance
* Big Girls Don't Cry
Fergie
* Say It Right
Nelly Furtado
* Rehab
Amy Winehouse

I have a feeling fergie will steal this one.


Best Male Pop Vocal Performance
* What Goes Around...Comes Around
Justin Timberlake

Although Seal is my darkhorse pick

Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals

Plain White T's

The song was just too big for it to be ignored.

Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals
* Beautiful Liar
Beyoncé & Shakira
* The Sweet Escape
Gwen Stefani & Akon
* Give It To Me
Timbaland Featuring Nelly Furtado & Justin Timberlake

I'd be shocked if gwen wins this, and for some reason I can see Beyonce and Shakira taking this one.

Best Pop Vocal Album
* Back To Black
Amy Winehouse

Not even close.

Best Dance Recording
* Do It Again
The Chemical Brothers
* D.A.N.C.E.
Justice
* LoveStoned/I Think She Knows
Justin Timberlake

Too close to call.

Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album
* Trav'lin' Light
Queen Latifah

The category nobody really pays attention to.

Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance

One of these vets will take it.

* It's Not Over
Daughtry
* Working Class Hero
Green Day

All have legit shots although I could see Daughtry stealing this one seeing as the others have won in the past.


Best Hard Rock Performance
* The Pretender
Foo Fighters

Queens Of The Stone Age

Two songs that play on my ipod at least 20 times a day...too close to call.

Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel & Chris Shiflett, songwriters (Foo Fighters)

I think foo fighters take it.

Lily Allen

* Icky Thump
The White Stripes

I am going to say right now that lily allen will take this...but I wouldn't be surprised if the white stripes took it.

Best Female R&B Vocal Performance
* No One
Alicia Keys

Mary's Song is gaining strength but at the wrong time.
* Future Baby Mama
Prince

Just watch what I tell you.

* Same Girl
R. Kelly Featuring Usher
* Hate That I Love You
Rihanna Featuring Ne-Yo


They aren't going to let that fool t-pain near the stage lol! Rihanna will win. I think that the solo artists will make up in the duo categories.

M.S. Eriksen, T.E. Hermansen & Shaffer Smith, songwriters (Rihanna Featuring Ne-Yo)
* No One
Dirty Harry, Kerry Brothers & Alicia Keys, songwriters (Alicia Keys)

Tank

Jill Scott takes it.

* The People
Common
* Show Me What You Got
Jay-Z
* Stronger
Kanye West

The people will win it if for anything else that the song actually had a message.
P.S. Common is LOOOOONNNNGGG Overdue for a grammy.

Soulja Boy Tell'Em, songwriter (Soulja Boy Tell'Em)

ARE YOU f**kING SERIOUS?

[brooklyneast05]

no

ARE YOU f**kING SERIOUS?

AGREED
this is awful

[dustbunny]

it really seems as if the grammys just nominate whoever would attract attention...just so they can get those artists to perform and thus have a bunch of viewers.

SERIOUSLY WTFFF

[hi-C]

Holy crap, I don't know how I missed that (Soulja Boy's nod) the first time. The Grammys are already highly irrelevant but this is getting more than slightly ridiculous.

[michellerrific]

omg this year sounds frikin exciting!

DEFINITELY JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE!!, for what goes around and especially LOVESTONED!
kanye west rocked with Graduation, hope he wins for that. and i would be absolutely exhilarated if Jay Z won album Kingdom Come and song show me what you got!!
I would say the most challenging category for me is Best Rap Song, because honestly, they're all favorites! Oh and Chris Brown ftw!

I would love to see Paramore defeat Amy Winehouse. Really, i don't even like Amy Winehouse. She sounds awful to me like a drunken weirdo. But the chances are slim..


Commentary wise, I'm actually a bit shocked like some of you to see songs like Crank That or Party Like A Rockstar on there. They're not the best songs, but just songs everyone knows. It does seem as if the Grammy committee is trying to attract attention for more viewers or ratings.

[NoSex]

Ahhh ha, worse than the Academy! Holy f**k that's bad!

[karmakiller]

It seems like they're trying to diversify it to get better ratings. Kinda dumb, though, how you don't get to see many people accept their awards.

[Amay]

I would love to see Paramore defeat Amy Winehouse. Really, i don't even like Amy Winehouse. She sounds awful to me like a drunken weirdo. But the chances are slim..

Amy Winehouse is disgusting, but for sure I know she's going to be winning at least half the ones she's nominated for.
And as for Paramore winning, the chances are absolutely.. nonexistant.
They have two singles on the airwaves, but only "Misery Business" is well-known.
If Amy Winehouse doesn't win, I'm putting my bet on Lily Allen.
Basically.

[MissFits]

The Shins are more talented than every other band in their category. They need to win, but I have never had any faith in the Grammys actually picking the person with the most talent.

I think these nominations are shit, personally. Most definitely not based on talent, but on album sales and that doesn't say shit about the quality of the music. If anything album sales let you know how bland something is. If it goes multi-platinum nowadays it's probably no good.

also, Amy Winehouse is not a new artist, and Icky Thump is not a new song.

[Gigi]

Feist for best female pop vocal? Are you kidding me? I LOVE Feist, but she's not pop at all, not to mention her voice is not her best feature.

Arcade Fire FTW!

[hi-C]

also, Amy Winehouse is not a new artist, and Icky Thump is not a new song.

The Grammys are notorious for doing that. Shelby Lynne who won ages ago had been a musician for 13 years prior she won the "best new artist" award. It's mainly to honor people who've made major waves in the American industry for the first time.

BTW, it's completely effed up that they're just now releasing Amy Winehouse's debut album Frank in the US. Shouldn't they do these things in chronological order? You can tell Frank is an older album because her voice is different and the production is slightly less on point.

[angel-roh]

I didn't watch who won. But that surely a long list.
Is it me or I didn't see Lily Allen? O___O;;

Anyways, did Paramore won??? or Amy WInehouse for the best new artist?
I have feeling Amy WInehouse won because... well her song attracts the adults too.

Best Male R&B Performance. Omg Please tell me that
Ne Yo - Because of you WON!!!!! That song is sooo good I love it! except video . __ .

OMG!!

Best Female Pop Vocal Performance
* Candyman
Christina Aguilera

Hopefully she won!!!! I LOVED THAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was so sexy, gorgeous, beautiful, pretty, cute!! I loved the concept of the video too!!
